How to resize an image for Instagram posts and stories

Select your target format above (Square, Portrait, Story, etc.), then upload or paste your image. Choose Fill (Crop) mode to crop your image to perfectly fill the Instagram frame โ€” this is the most common choice for social media since it removes empty borders. Use Fit mode to keep your full image with a background added โ€” good for design images where cropping would remove important content.

Square vs Portrait vs Story โ€” which to choose?

The square 1080ร—1080 format takes up the most space in the feed for horizontal or square images. Portrait 1080ร—1350 is the optimal format โ€” it occupies the maximum vertical feed space allowed, which results in higher visibility and engagement. Stories (1080ร—1920) are full-screen immersive formats. For Reels, the same 1080ร—1920 dimensions apply.

Frequently asked questions

What size is an Instagram post in 2026? โ–พ
Instagram supports square (1080ร—1080), portrait (1080ร—1350), and landscape (1080ร—566) post formats. The portrait 4:5 ratio (1080ร—1350) takes up the most vertical space in the feed and is generally recommended for maximum reach and engagement.
What is the best size for Instagram stories? โ–พ
Instagram Stories should be 1080ร—1920 pixels (9:16 aspect ratio). This is also the correct size for Reels. Keep important content within the central safe zone to avoid it being cropped by UI elements at the top and bottom of the screen.
Does Instagram compress my images? โ–พ
Yes. Instagram re-compresses uploaded images, especially if they are uploaded as large files. For best quality, upload at exactly 1080px wide (not larger) in JPG format at high quality. Uploading at the exact recommended size reduces Instagram's recompression artifacts.
Should I use Fit or Fill mode for Instagram? โ–พ
Fill (Crop) is usually best for Instagram โ€” it produces a clean, borderless image that fills the frame. Use Fit mode only when your image content cannot be cropped at all, and you want to add a coloured or blurred background to pad to the Instagram dimensions.
Is my image uploaded to a server? โ–พ
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device. No data is sent to any server at any point.
